Latest Acquisitions

[Alisdairmac]

Been far too long since I have posted properly on the forum, but I have a new acquisition, and it is very much thanks to the forum so I thought I would share it here.

Pbp stickered speeder bike. Been after this for a while.

This means I have now got all three of the Spanish speeder bike variations.

I haven't posted in this thread in years so I'm not exaggerating when I say I'm really excited.

Small head Han Solo, never had one and I honestly think he's pretty damn cool but the real reason I'm excited is because in one year I get the boxed Palitoy Millennium Falcon that has been hidden away for years (originally going to be an anniversary present but now going to be my 50th birthday) on the top shelf of my wardrobe

Remember looking at the pictures on my childhood MF box and noticing the difference between my Han and the one on the box.

Be great to display them together 8)

Great stuff Colin! Love a small head Han and who doesn't dream of flying the Falcon!

I dont normally post my items that i pick up but today I came across this full size fiberglass Han solo carbonite and instantly fell in love with it. I didnt know where I would put it and I still dont but the wife was with me and said it was cool so I bought it.

Well you managed to pick that up really quickly after you mentioned it recently. Well done Mike and it looks great so look forward to hearing some more about it.

Very nice [mention]Michael Sith[/mention] , another lovely resea.

 

[welshwookie]

That DSD looks great [mention]Michael Sith[/mention] well done.

 

[Cazza]

DSD looks amazing Mike! So hard to find these days 8)

 

[Michael Sith]

Thanks guys

It's not been resealed or sorted yet as the nameplate is missing ( if you look closely I have slipped a spare DSD card behind it for now.

But I have a plan … the game s afoot !

 

[SublevelStudios]

Love a good re-seal! And the DSD is one of the toughies - I had a footer spare for ages but sold it last year - is it original Mike?

 

[Michael Sith]

Yes mate the footer was sold as original, and certainly is

what a collection, i read Buster and 2000AD at the time and those bags really take me back to the early 80's I remember ripping off the bags to find the stickers and book inside

So happy to share my latest vintage piece
12" Darth Vader courtesy of lejackal

I had Vader, Luke, Leia and both droids back in the day and now I'll definitely be hunting to pick them all up again.

He's a cracker but will have to rethink display options - he's too big for my "dolly" shelf

[lejackal]

Thanks to @edd_jedi for the penultimate Luke. One more to go for the magnificent seven!

 

[Sundancer Squadron]

Nice one, maybe one day ill get lucky

 

[Alisdairmac]

I just got the box on the top left. This is a new sticker for me. If anyone knows anything about it then I'd be grateful for any information. From what I have read I have to assume this is from early 1985 when general mills restructured their toy divisions and palitoy adopted the kenner Parker name (according to Wikipedia). But presumably some toys were still produced or distributed from the palitoy site in the uk? Would this change also correspond to the trilogo change from pbp to gmj??

I'm finally able, and delighted, to share my recent Prop Store purchase, a mixed lot of crew gear from the Norway film location shoot for The Empire Strikes Back. This lot perfectly complements the jacket and balaclava that I purchased from Mr Harald Lystad, and allows me to display a full production issued and used crew outfit (except for the goggles, which aren't production used but are the identical type). As a huge fan of the Hoth sequences in the movie, and the adversity that the cast and crew went through to get such wonderful footage, this really is a dream come true.

The hat has the name Kohler inside - location manager Philip Kohler - and the boots have the initials M G. I haven't yet identified who this might be on the crew.

I'm still looking for an outer pair of ski trousers (with the full zipper down the outside of each leg) if anyone can help, please?

Further information on the crew gear, and on Mr Lystad's part in the production, can be found here: https://www.ukstarwars.com/mr-harald-lystad

 

[edd_jedi]

Wow, now that's something you don't see every day Andy! Amazing

 

[lejackal]

Well that's winning the internet today

 

[Michael Sith]

Superb addition, congratulations, that looks awesome!
